anatomy/site Flashcards
ideal sampling site for a systemic venous sample
pulmonary artery
Needle or Catheter Aspiration site
second anterior intercostal space in the midclavicular line or laterally at the fourth or fifth intercostal space in the anterior axillary line
triangle of safety in CTT
fifth intercostal space, pectoralis major, and latissimus dorsi
Primary sites of catheter insertion in the ED in transvenous pacing
right internal jugular vein (preferred) and the left subclavian vein
placement of pads in Internal defibrillation
one in the left ventricle the other on the right ventricle
majority of cases of Crohn’s disease involves
ileum
ulcerative colitis “crypt abscess” location
Rectum
Hesselbach triangle
lateral border of the inferior epigastric arteries, a medial border with the rectus sheath, and an inferior border of the inguinal ligament
ovarian torsion commonly happens in the right or left?
70% of torsions occur on the right side, due to the increased length of the utero-ovarian ligament on the right and the sigmoid on the left, limiting space for movement.
pregnant women with VT commonly happens in the what site?
VT in pregnant women is more often left-sided (85% vs. 55% nonpregnant) and is more commonly found in proximal iliofemoral veins (72% vs. 9% nonpregnant).
Six cardinal movements
(1) engagement,
(2) flexion,
(3) descent,
(4) internal rotation,
(5) extension,
(6) external rotation
Chronic hypertension In pregnancy
SBP ≥140 mm Hg or DBP ≥90 mm Hg that existed prior to pregnancy or persists longer than 12 weeks after delivery
Severe chronic hypertension in pregnancy
systolic blood pressure >160 mm Hg or diastolic pressure >110 mm Hg
Gestational hypertension
hypertension present only after the 20th week of pregnancy or in the immediate postpartum period but without proteinuria
Three anatomic constrictions affect the adult esophagus:
- At the cricopharyngeus muscle (C6) with a resting pressure of around 100 mm Hg.
- At the level of the aortic arch (T4)
- At the gastroesophageal junction (T10 to T11)
